While I can obviously do both ways I prefer the cheese way because I'm having hard time when my team dies near the dam end of the totems and then we need to do the same process all over again that takes quite a while... I find it more challenging being alone on the totems and deal with acolytes/boomers and any other kind of enemies my team let slip by them (those major Knights though lol) if the 2 players that stick on totems knows how to crowd control alone the other 4 players won't have a problem dealing with the adds on center (let's be honest 4 guardians at center are better then 2...)
